Enlisted

Silica is a 2023 sci-fi RTS/FPS hybrid published by Bohemia Interactive, known for their Arma series. Although from a notable publisher, it's an indie-scale project and not a traditional MMO. Launched in 2023 with early access, it saw some initial interest, but player retention appears modest due to niche appeal and limited ongoing marketing. Its stable but small active user base is typical for similar indie multiplayer RTS/FPS hybrids about a year post-launch.

Enlisted is a free-to-play squad-based World War II shooter developed by Darkflow Software and published by Gaijin Entertainment. Launched in 2020 and available on multiple platforms, its player base is supported by ongoing updates and events promoted by Gaijin. However, as a niche shooter (and not a top-tier AAA franchise), its daily active players likely peak in the tens of thousands, not hundreds of thousands. The game has moderate popularity among enthusiasts of realistic shooters but does not reach the scale of major titles like War Thunder or Battlefield. Players per match are capped and it lacks the persistent world of a true MMO.
